    Lately I have been using Farnam Equi-Spot. It lasts up to 14 days and works similar to a dog spot on flea treatment. It seems to be working better than the sprays so far. I have been keeping a bottle of Farnham tri-tec 14 on hand, but I really like the spot treatment especially to keep the ticks...

    Good morning everyone! Drago officially turned 1 this week and has already grown from 15hh to 15.1hh since being here. My 5’4” self is going to need a step stool to get on him by the time he is finished growing🤣

    Does anyone use Nelson waterers and like them? We are having the central paddock dug up for French drains, mud grids and gravel so we figured we might as have electric and water lines run to all of the pastures for automatic waterers.

    Well the yearlings have both figured out how to not only unlatch the gate, but also how to leverage it right off of the hinges. I had to go re-do the gate and reverse the hinge so they can’t just pop it off. I think they have been watching too much Pirates of the Caribbean. Meanwhile little...

    Yep! She custom makes each halter so you can choose for it to be a solid color or one main color with a second color braided together in the noseband. It’s hard to tell in the light, but Drago’s I had her make in navy with green added to the nose band. Ronin got a solid black one since she’s my...

    I found someone who makes custom Celtic Knot rope halters and had to order one for each horse. Drago is currently wearing a horse size so we will see how long it lasts before I have to have her make me a larger one😅

    I don’t know why, but my mind put both “running across a field with my big ol hunk of metal and standard step sizes and sitting on an animal that's running” together and I totally thought you were going to say Jousting even though that’s a wooden lance (unless you’re cheating like they always do...

    Yes exactly it is insane! I just saw one listed the other day that was a grade quarter horse, blind in one eye, required “confident intermediate to experienced rider” and they wanted $6,000…like whaaa??? You’re right on everything else going up too. I am paying $13 a square bale for hay and...

    My grandma’s other favorites were all soap operas so heartland is the less dramatic option for me if you can believe it😂

    Oh definitely😂 It came out when I was around 11 I think and used to watch it with my grandma. She passed so every year around when she died I like to rewatch it again simply because it’s nostalgic for me.

    My son does😂 We were watching Heartland today and it was the episode with the “Zorse” (although I’m pretty sure they used a badly painted horse). He is now convinced that we need a Zorse 🤦‍♀️

    I saw some camels, a wallaby, capybaras and ostriches for sale at a livestock auction I went to. I thought I was at the wrong place at first😅

    Those prices aren’t too bad or at least better than around here early this spring. When I first started pony shopping this year I was told to set my budget at $10,000-$20,000 for a beginner pony I was like whaaa that’s insane?😭 If I was looking for my kids a little rodeo or eventing pony sure...

    I’m curious, what is the average price range for a good kids pony in your area? Not a fancy show pony just a beginner pony that’s not on deaths door. I was shocked by how much they are going for in my area. I don’t mind paying for a good horse, but goodness have ponies gone up in $$$.

    For me it is situational. I think giving treats as your sole motivator and your only means of positive reinforcement is a big no. Thats how you end up with a horse that mugs you for treats and I have been bit in the hip/butt too many times by someone’s horse who thinks everyone’s pockets contain...
